Why is it that none of the past few final fantasy games had an actual world to explore except for the fucking MMO? Just compare the empty world of FFXIII and FFXV to the one from FFXIV. Why can't they just take the XIV world and make the game even more singleplayer oriented to make a real modern final fantasy game?

Simply put, The wrong people are in charge of the mainline series, from the aesthetics and story, to the gameplay and character progression.
The real question is how a series such as Final Fantasy got to be so popular (the answer is Final Fantasy 7, I know) even though it's generally mediocre to bad installment to installment.
You can finish the entire game without using chat once, I don't know what you mean by "making it more singleplayer"
It seems like you are retarded. You literally need parties to do the mainstory quests, hence "making it more singleplayer" would mean to get rid of the whole playing with other players part.
"other players" are nothing more than glorified bots user
Yes, and they are still required. I don't know what is wrong with your fucking brain, but to make a singleplayer game you first need to get rid of multiplayer components, you dimwit.
FF14 has unlike previous games no set deadlines. Its service model means the devs can continue improving the game using sub fees as investment.
FFXIV open world is barren and not worth exploring.
Almost every ff game has a party of several characters user, what's the difference ?
